Domaine Combier : Cap Nord 2023

From parcels in Gervans and Serves-sur-Rhône, the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Cap Nord was matured for 12 months in three- to five-year-old barrels and reveals a deeper, more structured profile than the regular Crozes. It opens with aromas of dark fruits, cassis, mulberries and spices, with a faintly animal nuance. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and fleshy, it’s structured and slightly firm at this stage, concluding with a long, spicy finish.
